Andover Shabby Chic Store Under New Ownership

Andover Shabby Chic Store, ‘La Di Da’, has announced new ownership as the popular shop has been bought by Andover resident and corporate businesswoman, Stephanie Briggs.

‘La Di Da’, an independent retailer in Andover town centre is under new ownership. Nicola Pumfrey opened the shop four years ago but has decided to spend more time with her young family and therefore has sold the business to Andover resident Stephanie Briggs.

Stephanie has a design degree but has spent the majority of her career in corporate business roles.

Stephanie has said “I am looking forward to combining my passion for design with business and continuing to grow the ‘La di da’ brand in Andover and online. The shop is a little gem, full of gorgeous things for home and garden.”

“My husband and I are passionate about Andover and developing the presence of the store even further. We’re very excited about the future – Andover has a very traditional retail feel, and we want to help and develop that even further. We’re so grateful for the customers who love what we do, and plan to bring even more fabulous items to the store.”

One customer recently said “Thank goodness there is a fabulous gift shop in Andover something we have all been waiting for. It’s such a lovely shop full of beautiful gifts for friends and family, though I find I want to buy most things and keep them for myself!”

‘La Di Da’ is the exclusive Annie Chalk Paint™ stockist for the area and also run paint technique workshops. They now offer a furniture sourcing service too. If you are looking for something specific, La Di Da asks that people contact the shop direct and they will find it for you.
